2-butanone is converted into 3-methyl-3-hexanol using a grignard reagent prepared from 1-bromopropane and magnesium metal in thf
solution. List the procedural steps required to collect the alcohol product by microdistillation.

Answer:
Here's what I get.
Explanation:
At the end of the reaction you will have a solution of the alcohol in THF.
The microdistillation procedure will vary, depending on the specific apparatus you are using, but here is a typical procedure.
- Transfer the solution to a conical vial.
- Add a boiling stone.
- Attach a Hickman head (shown below) and condenser.
- Place the assembly in in the appropriate hole of an aluminium block on top of a hotplate stirrer.
- Begin stirring and heating at a low level so the THF (bp 63 °C) can distill slowly.
- Use a Pasteur pipet to withdraw the THF as needed.
- When all the THF has been removed, raise the temperature of the Al block and distill the alcohol (bp 143 °C).

Answer:
The molar concentration of Cu²⁺ in the initial solution is 6.964x10⁻⁴ M.
Explanation:
The first step to solving this problem is calculating the number of moles of Cu(NO₃)₂ added to the solution:
n = 1.375x10⁻⁵ mol
The second step is relating the number of moles to the signal. We know the the n calculated before is equivalent to a signal increase of 19.9 units (45.1-25.2):
1.375x10⁻⁵ mol _________ 19.9 units
x _________ 25.2 units
x = 1.741x10⁻⁵mol
Finally, we can calculate the Cu²⁺ concentration :
C = 1.741x10⁻⁵mol / 0.025 L
C = 6.964x10⁻⁴ M
